I took a look around for it but I guess it got purged when I moved over here. There's probably a dusty copy in a drawer somewhere in the Ops section.

The wrong turn example given was precisely why D and L shouldn't connect twice. Give a pilot a choice and they will take the unintended one eventually even if it involves a bizarre turn.

I remember a European carrier having landed at night on 24R (as it still was) exiting at BD and being given something like A-D-L stand 23 and then making too hard a turn and ending up on B. Rather than asking what to do, they got to the intersection with C and made the hard left turn into the unlit and closed area to rejoin A.

The taxiway layout is a mess and trying to make a logical naming system from it is difficult, but possible.

Say "Hi" to anyone who remembers DC, D watch 1997-2003.
